Hmmm … here are three things he didn’t seem to want to say openly in Cairo:
He didn’t praise doubt, or promote LGBT, or read the Koran’s other verses.

Specifically, he didn’t say this (I’ve added... READ MORE

Yesterday, President Obama did something radical: He proclaimed June “LGBT Pride” month.
This doesn’t just mean “tolerance for homosexuals month.” The T stands for “transgender.” The movement is clear that it wants men to be able to use women’s bathrooms, among other craziness. (See?)
The White House buried the news, and the media helped. But Obama said he wants to mainstream that... READ MORE

At Notre Dame, Obama referred to Cardinal Joseph Bernardin.
“That must have had Cardinal Bernardin turning over in his grave,” writes Elizabeth Lev.
Then, she finds an extraordinary quote from the cardinal himself ... and in the Register, no less.
Obama “cleverly backed up his pro-choice arguments by quoting the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin’s ‘seamless garment’ project,” wrote Lev, “which... READ MORE

Sunday was a frustrating day for pro-lifers. As Father John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame, and Barack Obama, president of the United States, spoke, pro-lifers felt the urge to argue with what was being said. But there was no opportunity to argue.
Said Father Jenkins: “We honor all people of goodwill who have come to this discussion respectfully and out of deeply held conviction.”

Via the Catholic Key
Obama said yesterday:
“It is the grimmest of ironies that one of the most savage, barbaric acts of evil in history began in one of the most modernized societies of its time, where so many markers of human progress became tools of human depravity: science that can heal, used to kill; education that can enlighten, used to rationalize away basic moral impulses; the bureaucracy...
